Problem
Henry the donkey has a very long piece of pasta. He takes a number of bites of pasta, each time eating inches of pasta from the middle of one piece. In the end, he has
pieces of pasta whose total length is
inches. How long, in inches, was the piece of pasta he started with?
Solution
If there are pieces of pasta, Henry took
bites. Each of these
bites took
inches of pasta out, and thus his bites in total took away
inches of pasta. Thus, the original piece of pasta was
inches long.
